Chapter 163 Discussing the Battle Plan
After walking through the sewer once, Li Yu'e and Xiao Zheyu already knew the route home.
It took them almost a day to find Xia Xiaoman on the way here, but only six hours on the way back.
After not seeing each other for half a year, Wen Jianfeng became more silent than before, Su Ran became more mature, and Zhou Qiuyang remained the same. The biggest change was the twins.
Half a year ago, she sent Xiao Zheyu here during the tornado, and the twins still have some of the innocence that children should have.
This time when they met, Lingling and Axu didn't hang around her and play around like they did before. Instead, they greeted her seriously like little adults. The childish innocence in their eyes disappeared, replaced by the vigilance of adults.
Xia Xiaoman subconsciously reached out to touch Lingling's head, but Lingling avoided it reflexively. She realized that it was Xia Xiaoman who wanted to touch her head, and explained awkwardly: "Sister Xiaoman, I'm sorry, I thought it was my brother who wanted to attack me."
Seeing this, Li Yu'e said, "Lingling, Axu, it's time to climb the stairs with weights. Tie up your sandbags and climb the stairs! Auntie will cook dinner later and call you down to eat."
Wen Xu and Wen Ling agreed obediently, ran to the corner, tied sandbags to their calves and climbed the stairs.
After sending the two siblings away, Li Yu'e explained to Xia Xiaoman, "For a while, we were busy earning supplies and neglected Lingling and Axu. As a result, a thief broke into our house, and Lingling and Axu worked together to kill the thief."
"That incident left a shadow on them. For a long time, they refused to stay at home alone and kept crying and making a fuss to go out with us."
When you go out, you will inevitably encounter robbers and sneak attacks. When you encounter an emergency, you can't avoid the twins. The twins witnessed them killing many times and became more and more silent. At one point, they were so scared that they had a high fever and nightmares.
Once, Wen Ling was taken hostage and almost died.
"After that incident, Brother Feng became ruthless and intensified the training of the two siblings, and even forced them to kill people."
In the past, Wen Jianfeng would also ask the twins to learn boxing and Sanda, but he always taught them step by step in the same way he taught beginners in the boxing gym before the natural disaster.
Now, Wen Jianfeng was forcing the twins to fight with real guns and knives. He could injure or maim them as long as they were not killed. If they encountered danger outside, he would not protect them completely, but would deliberately leave one or two weaker enemies for them to deal with.
Over time, the twins completely shed their childish appearance and learned to deal with problems in an adult way.
Xia Xiaoman was silent for a moment, then said, "If you keep your child under your wings forever, you will eventually ruin him. Coach, training like this is the best way to protect Lingling and Axu."
Li Yu'e nodded. "I thought so at first. But now I'm a little worried that if I push too hard, something might go wrong. You didn't see how Lingling and Axu killed people. I couldn't imagine how two seven or eight-year-old children could kill people without blinking an eye..."
"I'm afraid that one day they will kill people so much that they lose their reason and their emotions..."
Xia Xiaoman probably knew what Li Yu'e wanted to express. She was probably worried that the twins would have psychological problems!
This is an unsolvable problem.
Not to mention the twins, even she, whose living conditions and environment are countless times better than those of ordinary people, feels that she has mental problems.
In times of natural disasters and chaos, it is good enough to find one mentally healthy person among ten thousand people.
The topic was too serious, so Xiao Zheyu interrupted and said, "Aren't we supposed to discuss how to get into the Imperial Hotel tomorrow? How about we start discussing parenting? Come on, let's talk about tomorrow's specific plans."
Zhou Qiuyang heard this and said, "Proceed as planned. Go to the place where you were captured last time at night and pretend to look for supplies. Clean up a little and make sure the other party will be interested in you."
Xiao Zeyu: “…”
He finally understood that sometimes being good-looking is not a good thing.
Zhou Qiuyang continued, "The Crazy Dragon Club's party starts at 3 or 4 in the afternoon and lasts until the early morning. The kitchen will start preparing the ingredients one day in advance, which is today."
"I guess the busiest time in the kitchen should be around 5-6 pm. At this time, the pastry ingredients prepared in advance should have all been served, and they need to prepare new ingredients for the table. So I suggest that when they are busiest, a few of us sneak in from outside."
Su Ran said, "The last time we went to the Dijin Hotel to scout the place, we saw two people guarding the kitchen, and they were holding submachine guns. The problem we need to solve now is how to knock down the two people guarding the door without the other party firing a single shot."
Xia Xiaoman frowned. "I have a bottle of ether in my hand. Two sprays can knock down an adult man. But the question is, how do we get close to each other?"
"I have a solution. I will take Xiaoran to deal with the gatekeeper tomorrow." Li Yu'e said.
Su Ran was confused, "What method?"
"You'll know tomorrow." Li Yu'e didn't elaborate.
Zhou Qiuyang said, "Okay, let Sister Yu'e and Xiaoran take care of the kitchen door. Now there is only one problem left, which is how can we ensure that Xiao Zheyu can get the key smoothly and join us?"
The Imperial Hotel is neither big nor small, and the corridors are so complicated that you can easily get lost if you are not careful. Moreover, they did not have a map of the Imperial Hotel, so they were completely in the dark after entering and did not know anything.
Xiao Zheyu was unhappy. "Brother Yang, can you give me a little trust? I promise I will get the key. Once I get the key to the warehouse, I will find a way to make some marks. You can come in from the back kitchen and follow the marks to meet me."
Zhou Qiuyang said earnestly, "Xiaoyu, it's not that I don't trust you, but this mission concerns the lives of a group of us, and I must ensure that everything goes well. Besides, you don't even know who has the key now, how can you guarantee that you can get the key?"
"Can you pick the lock?" Xia Xiaoman asked.
If you can pick the lock, you can avoid the step of getting the key.
Xiao Zheyu shook his head. "The warehouse where the ammunition is stored uses a combination key lock. It can be opened either with a combination or a key. The keyhole cannot be opened with a normal key, and it is also difficult to pry open. I have already tried to pry it open."
Xia Xiaoman was silent for a while, then said, "Can we break the vent open a little and go in through it?"
Xiao Zheyu nodded, "Of course you can, but it will make a lot of noise."
"It doesn't matter if we make some noise, as long as we can break the vent open." After saying that, she thought for a moment and then said, "I will go to the Dijin Hotel with Xiao Zeyu tonight, so we can take care of each other."
"Do you also want to be arrested with Xiao Zeyu?" Su Ran looked at her with wide eyes.
Xia Xiaoman hummed, "Why, is it not possible?"
"Well...it's not impossible, it's just that maybe...they might prefer mature women..." Su Ran said tactfully.
Xia Xiaoman heard the hidden meaning in Su Ran's words and glared at him, "Are my appearance conditions so bad?"
Su Ran: “…”
What should he say? Xia Xiaoman is not bad looking, but her figure is... a little flat...
